Filtered to Calgary MLS® homes with a listed YearBuilt of 2024 or later and a legal secondary suite. Since the 2024 blanket rezoning, builders across Calgary — inner-city infill and outer new communities alike — deliver more homes with a legal suite built in from day one.
What "builder-legal" gets you
- Suite constructed under a single set of stamped drawings and permits.
- New Home Warranty on structural, mechanical and delivery elements.
- A clean, contemporaneous permit trail — easier lender and insurer sign-off.
- Egress, separation and HVAC engineered to current code, not retrofitted.
Confirm before firming up
A newly completed suite still has to make it onto the City's Secondary Suite Registry — that step sometimes lags final occupancy. Ask for the registry entry or the receipt from the City, plus the occupancy permit. If the home is showhome-status or a spec build not yet occupied, verify who holds the warranty and when it starts.
LegalSuites.ca reads CREA DDF® listing remarks and structured fields to interpret each listing's suite status. That is a lead for discovery — not a legal determination. Before writing an offer, confirm any suite against the City of Calgary secondary-suite information page and its Secondary Suite Registry, and engage a licensed REALTOR® and Alberta-qualified inspector.
